I was just joking lol. Personally I’m not a fan of glowing logos. You put a case over them anyway, whatever. Even with the Mac, I prefer the stainless steel logo.
Yeah, maybe it’s a reference to the new iOS 18 Siri animation.

However, I miss the old Android notification leds, and having a subtle glow somewhere around the phone (or even the Apple logo) to indicate there’s an important notification would be great.

pre-order for iphones on Friday, sept 13?
Most likely. It was heavily expected to be:
9/10 - Announced
9/13 - Preorder
9/20 - Launch

However, 9/9 is the announcement so…may just be a one-off because 9/10 are the presidential debates and 9/11 is a no-go? So maybe the preorder and launch are the same, as most would expect?

I just hope they don’t move the 16’s back to October to launch with Apple Intelligence since that’s such a headline feature for them.

I hope they don’t announce the watches, iPhones, etc. but only release the watches in September and hold the phones back until 18.1 is ready. They may not want the headlines of “here are our brand new phones in September but you can’t use the headline feature yet” in all the reviews and stuff? Who knows.

I had my iPhone 7+ until I upgraded to the 14 Pro Max. Not sure why people have to update every year or two. The devices now are so close in features despite the marginal speed bump. I guess keep with the Joneses.
Cameras is the number one reason, beyond that 5g chips get better all the time for those of us in low signal areas.
 
Interested to see what Series 10 and Ultra 3 add. The wife's S8 battery is already aged, and she doesn't use AOD. Would like to see a smaller Ultra 3 for her. My Ultra 1 is holding up fine still.

The iPhone 16 announcement is a lon event.

It's all about the Apple Watch Series X or it should be. Just release the iPhones 16 in a press release or something
